Earth Era

Equator City has gradually stabilized. Although the environment is still harsh, and the shadows of cold and death still hover over Equatorial City, at least the situation will not continue to deteriorate. And as long as it stabilizes, the measures taken by human governments to deal with disasters will reap many results.

But the number of human beings is still declining unstoppably. The statistical report of the government department clearly shows that the difference between the situation that continues to deteriorate and the situation that does not continue to deteriorate lies only in whether human civilization is dying out quickly or slowly. In other words, maintaining the current situation, the future of human civilization will still be extinct, but this time process has been stretched a lot.

"The birth rate has dropped to a minimum, and the number of deaths each year has hit a new high due to the cold and various accidents. The average monthly total of 300,000 new births over the past three months so far— - This figure is thirty times lower than before the solar crisis, and the monthly death toll is 15 million, which is three times higher than before the solar crisis. Mind you, the monthly death toll is 1,500 The data of 10,000 people is the number of deaths in the current Equator City maintaining a basically stable state, and does not calculate the death data during the Great Migration and the Great Cataclysm."

"According to the predictions of demographers, if the earth remains as it is now, our human population will be reduced to less than one billion people in fifty years, less than half a billion in eighty years, and less than half a billion in one hundred and fifty years. , the human population will be reduced to less than 10 million people. At that time, our scientific and technological progress will be seriously stagnant because of the shortage of scientific researchers, and because of the increase of survival pressure and many excellent people who have mastered a lot of knowledge If we die, there will be a fault in the inheritance of knowledge. Our human civilization will begin to degenerate slowly, until the knowledge we have is not enough to deal with the harsh environment, and then our human civilization will disappear completely from the earth.”

"At the same time, the Academy of Social Sciences and the Ministry of Scientific Research jointly made a prediction. This prediction is that from this moment, if we cannot solve the solar crisis within 20 years, then we may never be able to solve it in the future. Because our human civilization The strength of the company is constantly declining. Now we can organize a large number of scientific researchers, engineers, etc. to carry out huge project construction, but in 20 years, we may not have such ability. Therefore, the relationship between these 20 years To the life and death of our human civilization.”

This is in front of Zhao Huasheng, the information document just passed from the scientific research department.

Zhao Huasheng can understand everything described in the document. Think about it, a single Crimson Heart spacecraft has taken up the entire energy of millions of excellent scientists and engineers for five years. If the total number of human beings is reduced to only a mere tens of millions of people... How can human civilization be possible again? Support such a huge project?

In fact, Zhao Huasheng believes that the evaluation report of the Ministry of Science and Technology is still optimistic. Zhao Huasheng believes that human time is only ten years, not twenty years. Because Zhao Huasheng knows how terrifying emotion despair and numbness are, and how terrifyingly contagious they are. After all, there are only a few people who can still maintain their high fighting spirit in the difficult situation, and the two emotions of despair and numbness will slowly eat the body of human civilization before the disaster knocks down human beings.

Zhao Huasheng put down the information in his hand, and Meng Zhuo walked in at this time and said to Zhao Huasheng: "Everything is ready, the head of state, heads of major government agencies, scientific research departments, people from all walks of life, media organizations, etc. are all in place. , waiting for you now."

Zhao Huasheng nodded: "Okay, take me there now."

So Meng Zhuo took Zhao Huasheng to a huge conference room at the Equator City Government resident. Zhao Huasheng will tell his speculations here in front of everyone here, and through the media present, he will announce his findings to the world, and tell the entire human civilization who the enemy we are facing is.

When approaching the venue, the huge venue that was large enough to accommodate more than 5,000 people returned to quiet at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Huasheng, and all the cameras were all aimed at Zhao Huasheng. Zhao Huasheng's figure at this moment appeared on the screen of almost every TV or other electronic device on the earth, and everyone held their breath at this moment.

The staff at the venue led Zhao Huasheng forward. Zhao Huasheng sat down next to the head of state on the rostrum, and then nodded to the old man, even if he said hello. The old man's face remained calm, and he could not tell whether it was sadness or joy.

"I'm Zhao Huasheng." Zhao Huasheng said this sentence calmly into the microphone, and then this sentence spread throughout the venue and all corners of the world.

"In the past year, I have found enough evidence to support my speculation, and I think I already know the reason for the outbreak of the solar crisis. With the consent of the head of state, I decided to send my speculation to our human civilization. Every single one of us announces it. Because I think every one of us has the right to know who our enemy is, and every one of us has the right to know what kind of existence we are fighting against.”

"Simply put, what we need to fight against is a civilization. A civilization that, like our human civilization, has its own complete social structure, its own emotions, its own culture, and its own values. This civilization lives on. above the sun."

When Zhao Huasheng said these words calmly, there was an exclamation like a landslide and a tsunami in the entire venue. Although they had already guessed in their hearts, many people were still extremely shocked when they heard Zhao Huasheng's unambiguous confirmation of the news.

"Next, I will tell you all my speculations, the evidence bases for making this speculation, and the causes and consequences of this incident." Zhao Huasheng said calmly. After Zhao Huasheng said these words, the noisy conference hall calmed down again at this moment.

"The story should start about two years ago..." Zhao Huasheng said lightly, telling the stories that happened to Li Qi that he had guessed, little by little, without any reservations.

Zhao Huasheng revisited the two years that changed the entire history of human civilization. Everyone in the venue, and everyone on the earth, followed Zhao Huasheng's words and relived those years.

"Like I said, Director Li Qi created a demon with his own hands, and then sent the demon back to the sun with his own hands. Although I have a very close relationship with Director Li Qi - as everyone knows, Li Qi Director Qi has always been my idol. When he was still alive, I also maintained a close relationship with him as both a teacher and a friend, and his sister, Li Wei, was my fiancée. But I will still make no secret of saying that it was Li Qi's mistakes that pushed our human civilization to the brink of destruction. I will not make any excuses for Li Qi's mistakes."

"I just want to say that since our human civilization has come to this point, the current priority is not to hold responsibility, but to solve the problem. Just like if we have a car accident, the first thing we think about is to save first. The responsibility will be determined later. Solving the problem is the most important, and I, Zhao Huasheng, I have the confidence to solve this solar crisis. I have solved the puzzle in the first stage, and I am also confident that I will solve the solar crisis. The second stage puzzle is solved."

"I will take responsibility for any mistakes made by Director Li Qi. To solve the sun crisis, I can pay any price including my life. I will pay for the sins of Director Li Qi, and then, after I put the sun After the crisis is resolved, we will leave the choice of whether to forgive Director Li Qi to everyone."

"I've finished speaking, thank you everyone." Zhao Huasheng stood up and bowed deeply to everyone in the venue, to all the living or dead in the world.

When Zhao Huasheng wanted to straighten his waist again, Zhao Huasheng felt a little hard. It was as if there was a heavy burden on his shoulders. Among this burden is not only the expectations of human society, but also the responsibility to save the entire human civilization. In addition to these, there is also the heaviest debt~www.NovelMTL.com~ It is to tear a person apart. I sold all my flesh, all my emotions, and all my wisdom, a heavy debt that I can't even repay.

This debt originally did not belong to Zhao Huasheng, because it was Li Qi's debt, but Zhao Huasheng decided to replace Li Qi by himself.

Everyone in the venue, including the head of state, stood up at the same time, and expressed their respect to Zhao Huasheng with silence and silence. This is not because of the ability that Zhao Huasheng may have to save mankind, but purely to show his respect to Zhao Huasheng.

With such a heavy burden, even thinking about it will make people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, and even the Yuan Dynasty did not dare to make this promise lightly, but... Zhao Huasheng took it on like this.

If you don't show respect for this responsibility and courage, people don't know what else in this world is worthy of their respect.

Zhao Huasheng straightened his waist, his expression still calm. At this moment, Li Wei, who was standing in front of the TV and saw everything, burst into tears. At this time, she seemed to have heard what Zhao Huasheng wanted to tell herself.

"What a heavy burden that is... How could I be willing to let you carry it? My love, let me carry it all on your behalf."
